🎄 All I Need Under the Tree

(Upbeat, warm, and bright tempo with sleigh bells and a light acoustic guitar rhythm)

(Verse 1)The calendar flipped to December snow,The whole town's wrapped in a festive glow.I'm hanging lights and I'm stringing the pine,But the brightest thing in the room is your shine.The fireplace is crackling loud and clear,I love this magic that happens this time of year.

(Pre-Chorus)The radio plays the same old tune,We're dancing slow beneath the silver moon.I don't need expensive gifts tied up in a bow,There's one thing I already know:

(Chorus)You're my holiday hug, you're my winter treat,You make the cold weather feel warm and sweet!You're the happy I find every Christmas Eve,All the magic I know, all that I believe!You are the star right on top of my tree,And all I need, all I need, is you right here with me!

(Verse 2)We're sipping cocoa with marshmallows high,Watching the snowflakes drift slowly by.We built a gingerbread house, a little crooked and grand,The perfect teamwork, holding your hand.We talk for hours, we laugh about everything,The simple joy that the season can bring.

(Pre-Chorus)The radio plays the same old tune,We're dancing slow beneath the silver moon.I don't need expensive gifts tied up in a bow,There's one thing I already know:

(Chorus)You're my holiday hug, you're my winter treat,You make the cold weather feel warm and sweet!You're the happy I find every Christmas Eve,All the magic I know, all that I believe!You are the star right on top of my tree,And all I need, all I need, is you right here with me!

(Bridge)Let the bells ring out, let the carols soar,Every year I love you just a little bit more.Beneath the mistletoe or bundled by the fire,You are the wish, my deepest desire.

(Chorus)You're my holiday hug, you're my winter treat,You make the cold weather feel warm and sweet!You're the happy I find every Christmas Eve,All the magic I know, all that I believe!You are the star right on top of my tree,And all I need, all I need, is you right here with me!

(Outro)Right here with me...Merry Christmas, my love!(Sleigh bells and guitar fade out)

You used to call when nights felt long
Now silence sings a different song
Your hoodie’s still on my chair
Like you might come back, but you’re not there

We said “forever” way too light
Like it wouldn’t fade with time
I memorized your tired smile
Didn’t know it was goodbye

🎶 "4 Days We've Since Spoken"

Artist: ROHAN SACHIN Genre: Indie Pop / Alt-PopVibe: Melancholic, reflective, building to a yearning chorus.

(Acoustic guitar intro, gentle synth pad underneath)It’s funny how a clock can slow down when you’re not aroundThe coffee mug is cold again, the same way that I foundI traced the stain you left right here, two days ago, or three?But the count that kills me every time is four, since you and me...We closed the door, we said "good night," but we never said "goodbye."

(Drums enter softly, bassline starts moving)I check the screen, the notification light is always deadJust a ghost of a sound ringing out inside my headAnd I know I should move on, I know I shouldn't careBut I'm watching the calendar, the silence is unfair.

(Full band kicks in, layered vocals, soaring melody)It's been four days we've since spokenAnd every quiet moment is a word you left unsaidThe air is thick with all the vows we accidentally brokenIn the space between my heart and my head.Four days where the minutes feel like hours in a rowAnd I need you to tell me where this conversation goes!Was that the final sentence? The ending of the line?Or are you counting too, like I'm counting mine?

(Drums pull back slightly, focus on vocals and reverb-drenched guitar)I walked the route we used to take, just to see if I could findA footprint, or a shadow, or a piece you left behind.The city’s moving on its own, it’s loud and unawareThat my entire world is focused on the pixelated glareOf your profile picture, static, never green, never blue.

(Energy builds again)I check the screen, the notification light is always deadJust a ghost of a sound ringing out inside my headAnd I know I should move on, I know I shouldn't careBut I'm watching the calendar, the silence is unfair.

(Powerful, with driving beat)It's been four days we've since spokenAnd every quiet moment is a word you left unsaidThe air is thick with all the vows we accidentally brokenIn the space between my heart and my head.Four days where the minutes feel like hours in a rowAnd I need you to tell me where this conversation goes!Was that the final sentence? The ending of the line?Or are you counting too, like I'm counting mine?

(Tempo slows, stripped down sound, very vulnerable)Maybe I'm the one who should hit sendMaybe I'm afraid of what that little chime will portend.It’s not the length of time, it’s the gravity of the pause...It's the space where a message should be, because, because...

(Repeated, fading out with reverb and delay)Four days...Just four days...(Whispered) It feels like forever...Four days...We've since spoken...(Final synth chord rings out)
